Thinking about putting up a new fence between your property and your neighbour’s? Here’s what you need to know!

By San Arora

In South Australia we work under the Fences Act 1975. Version: 22.6.2023


Here is a link: https://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/__legislation/lz/c/a/fences%20act%201975/current/1975.44.auth.pdf


The Act provides all the information for the erection, replacement, repair and maintenance of fences.
Many areas have specific rules about fence height, materials, and even placement along property lines.
You’ll also want to know whether you and your neighbours share responsibility for the boundary fence
A shared fence benefits both of you, and many neighbours split the cost.
Once you both agree on the style and material be sure to get everything’s in writing – it protects both parties!


Get a few quotes from contractors to find the best price. The total cost will depend on materials, labour, and the length of the fence.
Once installed, a new fence not only adds privacy but also value to your home!
